Angelfish.. sick!!??

[Valerie]

One of the angel fish I recently bought is now staying at the surface and slightly on it's side. It had previously been in a tank with another angelfish which chased after him... I have put him in another tank now and put some fish stress in.... is there anything that I can do to help him?

Has the angel's new tank been cycled, or is it brand new? Putting an already stressed fish into an uncycled tank would be akin to "out of the frying pan and into the fire." It would be better to separate the 2 using a divider until you can make other suitable arrangements.

One thing to note is that if you have tank lights off and room lights on, angels will float at an angle. They use light to work out what position they're in, and align themselves to the light source.

Too late it died..... The fish tank I had it in was cycled, I have had fish in it for over a year. I think why my other angel fish picked on it was because it was not the same tpye or not from the same spawn, because I got another one and they love each other! They swim very close together, follow each other and and swim together.... so I think this pair will work out, I am really hoping for them to spawn...... Thanks for all the help anyways
